Last night, we had a birthday party and when I tweeted about who has the best sans rival, I got 2 answers. Becky's and Gay Vasquez.

So I decided to order both and do a survey with my family who are crazy about desserts.

Gay Vasquez:

MACADAMIA Sans Rival. P950.00, 7 x 11 x 3 inches.

When I opened the box, it was nice and chilled. The macadamia gave it an expensive and more exotic look. We all know how much these nuts are and there was an abundance of it as topping.

When I sliced it, it was crunchy perhaps so crunchy that I made a bit of a mess because of the crumbs.

But once it was out of the box, air did it's work and made the cake chewy and gooey just the way we like it. The macadamia nuts are awesome. Love the combination of everything that makes it....well...Macadamia Sans Rival.

Becky's:

Sans Rival, P750.00, 8 x 12 x 3 inches.

Once I opened the box, I saw an aluminum package covered in clear plastic wrap.

Not very pretty and one of my friends said that PDEA might suddenly come and arrest us because the cake looked like smuggled drugs.

We were surprised to see peanut brittle as topping. I sliced it and this time, instead of a crunchy texture, it was chewy. A struggle with the knife but that's exactly how some people like it, especially Lucille.

The thing is, after you have swallowed the cake and the cream, you are still chewing on the peanut brittle which has a very strong flavor. Therefore the sans rival competes with the taste of the brittle.

We enjoyed both cakes because we truly LOVE Sans Rival but majority voted for

I was hoping that I didn't have to say anything about this post and let the photos tell you the whole story about my weekend at The Farm but I was afraid you would say that I am lazy.

Actually, I am. After checking out the photos once again, I just want to turn back time and do this weekend all over again.

When I first heard about The Farm, I imagined the worst in the eating department. I was going to eat grass, soya and nuts. That afterwards, I would have to run to the nearest Max's and eat all the fried chicken I can stuff myself with.

But you know what?? I ACTUALLY LOVED the food!!! It's not at all what I feared! They were very good! So good that I am craving for some now. Especially the breakfast cereal. That's my favorite.

Aside from the delicious food, we all loved the scenery, fresh air, birds chirping and friendly staff. And with that said, I will shut up now and show you what you are missing if you haven't been to

The Farm at San Benito.

Thank you to my Yap Family for this wonderful weekend of health, relaxation and joy!
